Setting up the project

- [Instructor] Welcome to the sixth section…in this video course.…In the previous section,…we ran a few tests on Selenium server.…This section will be about creating an entire eco system…for testing a web application using Selenium.…The goal is to present a complete working example…with acceptance testing done by Selenium.…It will place Selenium in context…and show you how it can be used…in real world commercial development.…Our first goal is to set up the project…using the necessary tools.…

In this video, we will test a small web application…by using Selenium and Cucumber.…We will use Git for source code management…and Jenkins for continuous integration.…We will implement a small web application,…the Google Temperature Converter.…The major and first case will be the conversion…of temperature from one unit to another.…Mainly, from Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa.…This application will be implemented…using a set of open source tools…that are easily available.…

You will be able to download, install,…and use them when you follow the example.…

Note: Mastering Selenium Testing Tools was created by Packt Publishing. It was originally released on 12/23/15. We are pleased to host this training in our library.

Selenium gives developers the power to control web browsers and use them to automate web application testing. As an open-source toolset, Selenium makes it easier for testers to evaluate web applications without putting in any extra time and effort.

Mastering Selenium Testing Tools is all about demystifying the Selenium suite. Learn to verify web applications, control browsers with code, and scale up the testing environment by distributing the execution of web applications on different browsers running on different operating systems.

Author Ripon Al Wasim starts with the Selenium IDE, a Firefox plugin that performs a simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. A tester aiming for professional output can use WebDriver, an advanced scripting tool that allows you to locate the elements you need to interact with using their name: id, xPath, or CSS. Next, learn to express the desired behavior using a well-known framework for behavior-driven development (BDD) called Cucumber for Java, which uses a language called Gherkin. Last but not least, Ripon shows how to run tests on the Selenium Server, and walks through a complete working example of Selenium and Cucumber in action, for acceptance testing of a web application.

Topics include:

Preparing your Selenium test environment

Using the Selenium IDE

Scripting in WebDriver

Locating web elements

Writing test cases with the Page Object Model

Enabling continuous delivery with a continuous integration build system
